BetMGM and AGS have just added a sparkling new chapter to Michigan’s casino portfolio, launching the exclusive Rakin’ Bacon! series.

The Rakin’ Bacon! Jackpots Bonus Wheel made its debut both at BetMGM online casino and MGM Grand Detroit.

The slot’s mid‑September follow‑up, Rakin’ Bacon! Jackpot Bonus Board, is already being anticipated, especially by Michigan online casino players.

Importance of omnichannel strategy

BetMGM has the luxury of providing offerings such as these for both the online and in-person gambler. Oliver Bartlett, BetMGM’s VP of Gaming, explained the strategy behind the launch.

“We want to set the standard for creating the most seamless experiences for players to enjoy the games they love. The period of exclusivity reinforces our priority to be the top online casino destination where players can find the largest variety of games they can’t find anywhere else.

“Rakin’ Bacon! is a fun franchise that brings big brand recognition, and we are proud to collaborate with AGS to add these titles to our stellar roster of games.”

On the flip side, Zoe Ebling, VP of Interactive at AGS, celebrated the synergy.

“At AGS, we’re focused on bringing the energy of land-based favorites into the digital world in ways that feel meaningful for players. Rakin’ Bacon! is a proven brand with broad appeal; this launch is another step forward in our player-first strategy and our commitment to bridging physical and digital play in ways that drive real engagement.”

Features of Rakin’ Bacon slot

Featuring Cornsquealius, the charming golden pig, this three-reel slot blends classic style with modern flair. Players can enjoy symbol-driven jackpots and wilds that multiply pays and unlock one of four in-game jackpots online, or chase tiered progressive jackpots on the casino floor .

In Michigan and New Jersey, this omnichannel release marks BetMGM’s first third-party game with simultaneous exclusivity across online and on-property channels, which is a testament to the evolving model of gaming where digital and physical merge to elevate the player experience.

As anticipation builds, bettors and slots fans alike are poised to immerse themselves in the golden pig spectacle, whether from the comfort of their homes or amid the energy of the casino floor.
